Myspace is a social networking website that allows users to make personal profiles to connect with friends, share messages, photos, blog posts, and video, as well as stream music. The company, headquartered in California, was founded in August 2003 by several employees of eUniverse, an Internet marketing firm. Among the main team members were Tom Anderson and Chris DeWolfe. Before the rise of Facebook Myspace grew in popularity among younger users and became the largest social networking site worldwide. In July 2005 Myspace was acquired by the mass media News Corporation for $580 million and later sold to Specific Media Group and singer Justin Timberlake in 2011 for around $35 million. Myspace was redesigned and a new platform across desktop and mobile was launched. Then, in 2016 Time Inc. purchased the social networking site. Today, Myspace has a team of 150 engineers, designers, writers, and strategists. With a focus on music the site now provides users with access to 53 million tracks and videos by 14.2 million artists.
